I think the calls of 4-0 are a little silly, but I think a 4-2 is probably more accurate. I don't see Scarlett winning twice even if she can take out MVP simply because of the potential jitters (she's got considerably better nerves than myself, but I can just imagine the stress that that particular game would put on a person) and with the rest of the IM team I can see them winning pretty decisively. I don't want your guys to win, TB, but I'm certain they have a chance, and for the sake of competition I really hope you get to have your laugh  | ||

I always saw MMA - Mvp as a rivalry (with MMA having an advantage), not a rule or a slaughter. Mvp > MarineKing, however, is a slaughter... You could make a strong case for Mvp > Polt too. The Mvp vs MMA rivalry was very annoying for Mvp fans because MMA would just cheese him every game. I've never seen more proxy buildings in a best of 5/7 than when those guys played. | ||

Either way, I can't see LG-IM losing this. At the moment, the only team I feel that can really stand toe to toe with IM is ST. Maybe MVP. But against anyone but those two, LG-IM should be fairly heavy favourites. | ||

Dont make sweeping generalizations on what you perceive or assumed everyone perceived to be imbalanced. BL/Infestor was pretty imbalanced though. Also hoping for an Mvp all-kill. But realistically, this is winners format and a bo7 so anything can happen. Axiom-Acer winning isn't too crazy. | ||

Back in late 2011, there was not any Terran other than MMA who could consistently beat Mvp. If it were not for MMA, Mvp would have won GSL October, and likely have won Blizzard Cup. That would have meant that out of the final 4 GSL seasons of 2011, Mvp won 3 of them, and won 5 seasons in 2011. Then we would really have people calling him the bonjwa of SC2. | ||

Dont make sweeping generalizations on what you perceive or assumed everyone perceived to be imbalanced. He's talking about balance, not about knowing how to beat it. Beating it (which is what you're talking about) is one thing, beating it in a 50-50 manner is another thing. Even Artosis who was preaching about how awesome the Queen/OL patch was when it hit finally admitted it was imbalance when WOL was over and HOTS was coming out. That said, if you're going to make a semantic argument about generalizations then you're right. There're always outliers and the like. | ||

Blizzard Cup is 50/50 because of DRG. Oh and same with MLG Providence, he would of had to face DRG. | ||
